Hello everybody,

I have worked a lot with PHP in last times, but I am not sure if it is the best choice for website programming. What language do you prefer for website programming? Which type (private, business, etc.) of website do you build with that language?

A: 

Why not? PHP was designed from the ground up for website programming, and nothing else. Sure it has evolved a little and you can mis-use any tool, but PHP's principle purpose is still to spit out HTTP; The H in PHPP === the H in HTTP.

I've tried a few others, but I must say that I keep coming back to PHP. I like to keep things servers-ide and am one of those paranoiacs who surf with JS, so others may do so too. If I use only PHP the miss nothing.

You can handcraft your site, or you can use templating like Smarty, etc, or you can use a full blown CMS (see http://www.cmsmatrix.org/).

But unless you are looking to learn new skills, since you already know PHP why woudl you want to use anything else?

I think you mean HTML there, not HTTP...

Well, it's true for both, but, yes, I should have said HTML. I woudl give you +1 but I don't have the ranking yet. I will come back later and do so.
